Mastering the Flare Knife in Freedom Wars Remastered

Freedom Wars Remastered throws players into intense battles against formidable Abductors. To conquer these towering foes, utilizing every tool is crucial. The Flare Knife is a particularly useful combat item, and this guide details how to acquire and effectively use it.

Acquiring the Flare Knife

The Flare Knife is surprisingly accessible early on. Once you achieve Level 003 Code Clearance, visit Zakka in The Warren. This vendor sells a variety of items, including the Flare Knife for 3,000 Entitlement Points. Equip it via the Loadout menu in the Personal Responsibility Portal, selecting an available Combat Item slot.

Utilizing the Flare Knife

The Flare Knife is designed for severing Abductor limbs, a valuable tactic regardless of your preferred weapon type (Polearms or Heavy Melee). However, remember it's a single-use item; repurchase is necessary for subsequent Operations.

To employ the Flare Knife, lock onto a severable Abductor part. Use your Thorn to grapple onto it. With the Flare Knife equipped, a severing option will appear. A quick-time event (QTE) follows, requiring rapid button mashing to sever the limb. Be aware that Abductors may attempt to interrupt this process by leaping or crashing.

Cooperative play enhances the Flare Knife's effectiveness. Teammates can repeatedly snare the Abductor, significantly simplifying the severing process.
